The lovely singer has great legs and has been showing them off at events with short dresses and amazing footwear.

This month alone, she has attended two separate events wearing dresses that have hems above the knee, and then finishing her look with suede shoes with sky-high heels.

Last week, LeAnn attended the American Giving Awards in a sleeveless mini dress and black Giuseppe Zanooti shoes.

The shoes are available in Far Fetch.

The heel-less, peep-toe, suede shoes are also available in Far Fetch. Here’s a photo of the shoe as featured in the store:

This shoe is more expensive than the shoe by Giuseppe Zanotti. This retails for $1,050. It is also made of soft suede and has cut-out sides. The strap at the ankle is made of an elastic material so it’s comfortable when tied into a bow. The platform is 1.25″, the highest point of the wedge stands 6 inches. It’s so high that it’s perfect for special events!

Type Z Noteworthy Knee-high Gladiators

Knee-high gladiators have the ability to hide thick calves, or make your legs look even thicker. That is why it is very important to choose the right sandal design to achieve the positive benefits.

There are a few things you need to know before putting the sandals on. Here’s a how-to guide to help you achieve a winning look with knee-high gladiators:

1. Wear short outfits – mini skirts, mini dresses, and short shorts are the perfect pieces to match with your knee-high gladiators. The shorter you are, the shorter your wardrobe should be (without showing your buns, of course). If you are on the tall side, then you can afford a longer outfit, but still, keep it several inches above the knee.

2. Avoid too many horizontal straps, and keep the straps thin – instead of choosing a pair that is pre-dominantly horizontal, choose one that has a vertical strap at the center front with fewer horizonal straps across it. The vertical straps will make your calves look slimmer. However, make sure that the T-strap is not too thick; otherwise, it will defeat its own purpose. Keep the horizontal straps thin as well.

Diagonal straps – if you want to wear diagonally oriented knee-high gladiator sandals, make sure the T-strap is present. Remember to keep the diagonal straps thin and at a minimum.

3. Wear the right knee-high gladiators for the right occasion – if you’re wearing a pair of jean shorts, then using rugged looking knee-high gladiators is ok. But if you’re wearing a more formal looking outfit, make sure the knee-high sandals are dressy enough to keep up with the dress!

4. Don’t show too much skin on top – because the length of your dress, shorts, or skirt is already on the short side, it would be best NOT to show too much skin on the top half. Otherwise, you end up looking sl_tty. So try to keep it low key, keep it covered, keep it classy.
